I know they've done some small games related to films, but I'm talking about a massive release, similar to Ultimate Alliance, with large scale adventures and all sorts of new characters?
Is there a reason they haven't capitalized on the obvious success of the MCU yet? |

Ok, let me clarify. I didn't say it had to be tied to the current MCU, but just capitalizing on the MCU. An MCU themed game if you will.
And these are all individual team games if I'm reading correctly.
I'm asking specifically about an entire Marvel Universe game, or at least something on a very large scale.

They need to start making those X-Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance games again. Those were legit.

they tried with the iron man games, and that cap game, but I think they don't see it as necessary.

I'm talking about a full scale Ultimate Alliance style event like they used to do.

A video game based off of Marvels would be incredible.  Go on, ask me how it would work? |

And I'd love to hear your concept for it.

DC has cornered the Market on button mashing, fighting games. You get to live vicariously through the characters if you can master all of those massively complicated combos and stomach the thin plotting. I'd love for Marvel to go in the opposite direction with a video game. It would be great if the main player could move through the timeline of the Marvel Universe and play as different characters at different pivotal moments in their careers. You could, for instance, take on the role of Reed Richards as he is tasked with solving the enigma of Galactus during his first appearance on Earth. Maybe you have to prevent him from building his world devouring machine in time square or find the Ultimate Nullifier. You would get to play as almost any character - sometimes in fight-oriented scenarios and sometimes in puzzle solving situations. The player could get to be Elektra, Professor X, Jennifer Walters, Namor, Bruce Banner, Sue Storm or any Marvel character at a career-defining moment. The player would learn the history of the Marvel Universe as they took on new challenges and roles. I know it's ambitious but, I think it would be vastly more entertaining and challenging than smashing someone over the head with random debris for ten hours. |

ArArArchStanton Thank you! 🥂😇
I think it's a concept worthy of Marvel's rich history. Moving back and forth through the Marvel timeline and its myriad locations would be amazing. Some piece of connective tissue would have to tie it all together. Maybe the Watcher plays into it somehow? Maybe there's some underlying reason why all of these "Marvel's must take place? I like the idea of being put into those situations and experiencing the drama firsthand.

The X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance games were legit fun to play. The Lego Marvel game was pretty legit too. I didn't care for the Avengers one because it was just playing through the movies basically. We are getting a Spider-Man game for PS4 which I am highly anticipating. There is also this Marvel Heroes game I'm starting to hear things about coming to Xbox and PS. I think you can download a beta for it now

I'm hoping he comes into play in the MCU. |

I play MMOs and think a good game would be something along the lines of DCUO and Champions Online. Give it factions like mutant (Inhuman since this would be the MCU), alien, mutate, tech and magic for the origins of your powers. Playing as a Marvel character would be all fine and dandy, but I'd like to be "myself" in the Marvel Universe. What it would be like to be a new student at Xavier's or study under Dr. Strange or be a new Avengers recruit. To fight along side the New Warriors or Guardians of the Galaxy. I'd play the hell out of that game. |
